Why Bradford Remodeling Is Highland’s Preferred General Contractor Company
Highland homeowners deal with a specific frustration: contractors who quote low, start the job, then hand over a change order that doubles the budget. That doesn’t happen with us. We put the General Contractor scope in writing before the first tool comes out. Every allowance, every brand, every permit line item. Curtis Lane sets the standard for our crews, and that standard is The Garrison Standard: background-checked, uniformed technicians, a live person on the phone around the clock, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise that says if the work fails within a year, we come back and make it right at no charge.
Being local matters because Highland’s housing stock is a mixed bag. Pre-1980 ranches sit next to newer infill builds, and the difference changes how a job needs to be scoped. We’ve worked on enough of both to know what we’re walking into before we open the first wall. That local knowledge is what keeps your project moving instead of stalling out on surprises.
Styles & brands we work with
General Contractor Services in Highland
General Contractor Services in Highland cover the full scope of a remodel or addition: demolition, structural work, rough-in for plumbing and electrical, finishes, and final inspection sign-off. A Highland homeowner needs a general contractor when the project touches more than one trade, because that’s when schedule coordination and permitting get complicated. A kitchen remodel in Highland typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, depending on cabinet grade, countertop material, and how much structural work the existing framing requires.
Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
Kitchen remodels are our most common job in Highland. The older homes here often need subfloor repair and updated rough-in before new cabinets and countertops go in. Bathroom remodels run $9,000 – $28,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion starts around $3,500.
Room Additions and Garage Conversions
A room addition in Highland ranges from $45,000 – $130,000, depending on foundation work and roof tie-in. Garage conversions run $30,000 – $80,000. Both require city permits and inspections, which we handle as part of the written scope.

Construction Company in Highland
A Construction Company in Highland has to do more than swing hammers. It has to understand the city’s permit process, coordinate inspections, and keep a clean job site in neighborhoods where streets are tight and neighbors are close. Bradford Remodeling does all of that. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and document every change in writing. A whole-home remodel in Highland can run $45,000 – $130,000 or more depending on square footage and finish level.
Structural Work and Wall Removals
Highland’s older homes often have framing that looks load-bearing but isn’t, or is load-bearing with an undersized header. We open the wall, check the actual framing, and only then give you a firm number. That verification happens before we order cabinets or cut anything structural.
Exterior and Hardscape
Paver patios in Highland run $3,500 – $11,000. Paver driveways run $7,000 – $18,000. We use Belgard and Unilock pavers with proper base preparation, because the soils east of San Bernardino shift and heave if the base isn’t done right.
Trusted Brands We Service in Highland
We stock and install documented brands so Highland customers don’t have to wonder what’s behind the walls. KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry, Cambria and Caesarstone surfaces, Kohler and Moen fixtures, GAF and James Hardie exterior products, Therma-Tru doors. We also work with ADU systems from Abodu, Cover, and Dvele when a Highland homeowner wants a prefab accessory dwelling unit. Having a documented brand roster means the specifications are traceable, and the warranties on those materials back our own 365-Day Done Right Promise.

AfterCommon General Contractor Problems We See in Highland Homes
- Undersized headers in pre-1980 homes. We regularly find headers that were sized for a shorter span than what the wall actually carries. Opening the wall and checking before ordering cabinets is the only way to avoid a structural surprise mid-project.
- Subfloor rot under old bathrooms. Highland homes built before modern waterproofing standards often have water damage under the tile. Replacing the subfloor before new finishes go in prevents a failed inspection later.
- Permits treated as optional. Skipping a permit on a wall removal or addition means the city can flag the work at final inspection. We pull permits on every job that requires one, and we don’t close walls until the inspector signs off.
- Allowances set too low for older homes. Contractors who haven’t worked in Highland’s older housing stock set finish allowances that don’t account for rough-in updates. We price those conditions honestly on the front end, in writing.

FAQs About General Contractor in Highland
Do I need a permit to remove a wall in my Highland home?
Yes, if the wall is load-bearing or contains plumbing or electrical. Highland requires a building permit for structural wall removals, and the inspector must sign off before the wall is closed. We pull the permit and schedule the inspection as part of the written scope. Call (903) 568-7222 to have us check your specific wall before you order cabinets or counters.
How do you price a kitchen remodel in Highland when the house is older?
We open the walls and verify the framing, subfloor, and rough-in before we give you the final number. A kitchen remodel in an older Highland home typically runs $14,000 – $45,000, with the higher end reflecting structural repair and updated rough-in. The written price includes those conditions, so you’re not surprised mid-project.
What is a realistic timeline for a Highland bathroom remodel?
A standard bathroom remodel in Highland takes 4 – 8 weeks from demolition to final inspection, depending on whether the subfloor needs replacement and how quickly the inspector can be scheduled. We put the calendar in writing at the start and hold to it unless a change order adds scope. Call (903) 568-7222 to get a timeline for your specific bathroom.
Can you work with the brands we already picked?
Yes, if the brands meet our documentation standard. We install KraftMaid, Wellborn, Cambria, Kohler, Moen, and other documented brands, and we’ll work with what you’ve already selected if it comes with traceable specs and a manufacturer warranty. That protects your project under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
What happens if the project goes beyond the original scope?
You approve every change in writing before we do the work. If we open a wall in Highland and find an undersized header or rotted subfloor, we pause, show you the condition, and give you a written change order with the exact added cost. Nothing proceeds until you sign it. That’s how we keep the job from running away from the original budget.
